AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Non-typhoid endocarditis is uncommon. Non-typhoid A endocarditis is even more rare. Although the spectrum of available antibiotics is adequate for treatment, the importance of this condition stresses its rarity of occurrence and presentation. Here, we present the case of a middle-aged male suffering from A endocarditis.
Learning Objective: A endocarditis is extremely rare, mostly affecting the mitral valve. There is an increasing trend of A infection in the Indian subcontinent. A endocarditis should be suspected in all patients who have recurrent fever with chills for >3 to 4 weeks, associated with dyspnea on exertion and weight loss. Newer mutations with antibiotic resistance are becoming more common, which might pose serious problems.

infections are responsible for a large burden of disease worldwide. Non-typhoidal (NTS) species cause a myriad of disease manifestations, particularly amongst severely immunocompromised individuals. We present a rare case of endocarditis caused by the NTS species Enteritidis in an individual living with HIV and hepatitis C.

Non-typhoid Salmonellae (NTS) commonly cause gastroenteritis but are rarely found pathogens in prosthetic heart valve endocarditis. The details of two patients from the authors' institution and 15 published cases are reviewed in terms of their risk factors, clinical findings and outcomes. Only two of eight patients with paravalvular leakage or abscess--the most serious local complications--survived, both with surgery.

The Gerbode defect is a congenital shunt from the left ventricle to the right atrium. The type I defect (2) results in a direct shunt through a portion of the membranous septum, while a type II (indirect) defect occurs if the membranous septal defect lies below the attachment of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve. The shunt is directed towards the right atrium through a cleft or perforations of the septal leaflet.

Non-HACEK Gram-negative endocarditis is a rare but severe illness, and the diagnosis can be difficult to establish. Here, we report the case of a 72-year-old woman with Turner syndrome suffering from non-typhoid Salmonella endocarditis of the triscupid valve, who benefited from prompt antibiotic treatment allowing a quick and complete recovery.
